55 Hello,
56
57 I don't know if I missed a previous message, but you give no clue as to what
58 hardware you have. It seems you have no sound card installed. Either you did
59 not compile the appropriate module, or it is not getting loaded.
60
61 You should load the module for you card manualy (e.g. modprobe
62 <your_sound_module>), chechk that it works then add it
63 in /etc/modules.autoload.d/<your kernel>.
